Tears of joy and a heartfelt embrace after being baptized this past Sunday!

Celebrating Baptism at LBF

This past weekend, we had the honor of baptizing eight people. Their faith stories were varied and unique, but all shared the common thread of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Their public declaration of baptism is for the encouragement of us all. We are reminded of God’s love and power in our lives as we hear how God has worked in their lives. We remember again how Christ has washed our sins away, how we are a brand-new creation in Him (Acts 22:16). Please congratulate Samantha Bruce; Andrea King; Ashley Herndon; Justin, Jordyn, and Ben Riegsecker; Mark Olson; and Dustin and Mason Heath.

 

   

Reflections: April 26-27, 2008

This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastor of Teaching/Worship

This week we took some time to explain both baptism and the Lord's Supper. It was noted that the early church took seriously these two practices and so should the church of the 21st century. Both were modeled by Jesus, both were established by Jesus, and both are to be embraced by followers of Jesus. As I reflect on today's message I come away with a renewed sense of the value and importance of these two unique practices. May each of us at LBF take seriously both something to do and something to remember.

 

If you were in one of our services this weekend, join our blog below with your thoughts and reflections on the message of this weekend. What was one thing that you heard that was new? What was one thing that you knew already but appreciated being reminded about? What is one thing you will do differently now?

 

Thanks for taking the time to blog with us. God bless!
